Working closely with Arizona Center for Empowerment (ACE) and LUCHA (their 501c(4)), Kennedy School graduate students designed a mixed-methods research program to answer the question: How can ACE continue building power in Arizona through its co-governance model to deliver on the policy priorities of its base? This study also provides recommendations for strengthening the policy capacities of the organization and bringing them into more direct and accountable relationships with organized members.
